<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Cloud
computing provides large range of services and virtually unlimited available
resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality and smart
building control, have emerged due to the large number of resources and
services brought by cloud computing. However, the delay-sensitive applications
face the problem of large latency, especially when several smart devices and
objects are getting involved in human’s life such as the case of smart cities
or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud computing is unable to meet the
requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To solve
this problem, researchers have introduced a trusted and dependable solution
through the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and
resources of the cloud closer to users, which facilitates the leveraging of
available services and resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving
from the core (cloud data centers) to the edge of the network closer to the
users. FMEC dependability is based on providing user centric service. The
purpose of Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time
applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected
mobile devices. Several features enable the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing
to be a perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense
geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness to
users. As in every new technology, some challenges face the vision of the Fog
and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative policies and
security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure computation, network
security, data privacy, usage privacy, location privacy, etc). </span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">FMEC
2019 conference aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for
Mobile Edge Computing dominance. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions
that help mitigating Mobile Edge Computing challenges. That is, the objective
of FMEC 2019 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers
to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects
of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC). Researchers are encouraged to submit
original research contributions in all major areas, which include, but not
limited to:</span><span></span></p>
